Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 355 Feng Yao is right

Jade ginseng is a spiritual plant used in alchemy. Its main uses are its medicinal properties and spiritual power.

But when it's big enough, it can be considered a type of food.

Ordinary people don't have this kind of luck; how could they possibly withstand this kind of supplementation?

But neither Pei Xia nor Jiang Shu were ordinary people. Jiang Shu, in particular, after actually gnawing on the whole radish, even felt a pure power coursing through his limbs and bones.

Jiang Shu had never eaten the flesh and blood of a refined head, nor had he ever taken any spiritual pills. In his understanding, this jade ginseng was already an excellent source of nourishment.

While waiting for the rain, he sat cross-legged in the thatched hut and surprisingly felt that his copper-skin cultivation had improved a little.

Pei Xia wasn't idle either.

He glanced at Jiang Shu, who was sitting on the steps meditating, then turned to look at Feng Yao.

When my senior sister fought the White Demon, she also had many wounds on her body, almost all of them external injuries.

Taking Jiang Shu as an example, with the same wound, he has already begun to heal thanks to his copper-skinned physique and cultivation during the time he escaped.

However, after Pei Xia carefully examined Feng Yao's body, there was no sign of her cut skin healing.

Although the dead body retains its cultivation level, it is beyond the capabilities of the brain worm to fully revive its functions.

Especially some of the deeper wounds, the edges of the ruptured openings got wet with rainwater, and there were even faint signs of decay.

Pei Xia pondered for a moment, then took out a Huangqi Pill and handed it to her: "Eat it."

Feng Yao obediently opened her mouth and took in Pei Xia's fingers holding the pill as well.

After the pill was swallowed, Pei Xia couldn't detect it, so he could only ask her, "How is it?"

Feng Yao closed his eyes first, then shook his head: "It can be absorbed, but it has no effect."

Even elixirs are ineffective?

Pei Xia was somewhat disappointed, but he was unwilling to give up such a precious brain worm, so he took out another healing pill: "Try this one."

Both Huangqi Dan and Huashang Dan are considered healing pills, with the former being of a higher grade, similar to Yangchun Dan and Yangling Dan.

Logically speaking, if Huangqi Dan has no effect, Huashang Dan is probably useless as well.

But to Pei Xia's surprise, after taking a pill, before he could even ask, the two relatively shallow wounds on Feng Yao's exposed shoulder began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye!

it works!

Pei Xia was pleasantly surprised, but also somewhat puzzled. Why was Huangqi Pill ineffective, but Huashang Pill was working?
As a master of alchemy, he had some knowledge of elixirs and quickly realized that the reason why Huangqi Dan was so superior was not because of its medicinal power, but because it could better harmonize the functions of the body's organs, thereby fundamentally promoting the body's recovery.

In comparison, the Healing Pill is rather crude and rudimentary; it can only heal wounds on its own with its limited medicinal power.

Therefore, the Healing Pill is actually effective for corpses that have already died.

Feng Yao opened her eyes. She didn't know what joy was, and could only nod and tell Pei Xia, "It's not very effective, but it's useful."

"As long as it works, that's fine." Pei Xia gave her two more pills, and before long, her external injuries were almost completely healed.

For some reason, Pei Xia felt like a poor child trying to mend her tattered rag doll.

He then looked at the rag doll's dangling arm, which had been broken by the tall woman's kick and was unlikely to heal on its own.

Pei Xia had previously thought that perhaps the only way to fix it was by driving nails in, just like she had done with Ye Baicha at the Liancheng Fire Vein.

But then, it would be difficult to use that arm flexibly again.

Remembering what Feng Yao had just said—that she still retained the ability to absorb pills—Pei Xia decided to give it a try.

He took out a Spirit Nourishing Pill and handed it to Feng Yao: "This."

The brain worm was intelligent and immediately understood his meaning. Qin Zhou's head-refining method relied on dietary supplements to completely infuse spiritual energy into his flesh and blood, thereby obtaining a powerful physique.

Since the copper-skinned creature still possesses cultivation and its body still has the ability to absorb, could the brain worm continue the path that Feng Yao did not finish, and cultivate this girl's body to a higher level?

He swallowed the Nourishing Spirit Pill.

Although it is not a top-grade elixir, its effect of restoring spiritual power is the purest form of nourishment for those who refine their head, and it is much more potent than the precious jade ginseng.

Pei Xia watched almost as Feng Yao's body underwent a dramatic change.

With the nourishment of spiritual energy, this long-dead body seemed to begin to revive.

The skin that had been loosening became firm and plump again, and the dull and pale skin regained its color. The girl's delicate face also began to come alive. Although her eyes were closed, her eyelashes trembled and her eyebrows were delicate, as if she had really come back to life!
Even wounds that the Healing Pill couldn't heal before were rapidly healing!
When Feng Yao opened her eyes again, her body was almost exactly the same as when she was alive. Except for the hole on her neck that had not yet healed, it was difficult to distinguish her from a living person no matter how closely you looked at the details.

"How is it?" Pei Xia asked.

Feng Yao looked at his palm, clenched it a few times, and replied, "The broken bone is a little numb and itchy. Also... Senior Brother, my cultivation seems to have improved a bit."

Hiss, brain worm, corpse, cultivation level, progress.

What a niche word.

He patted Feng Yao's cheek, then pinched her smooth, firm waist and full thighs. The texture of her skin and the points of force she exerted were extremely resilient, proving that the brain worm was not talking nonsense.

Cultivating with the body of the dead—this must be something only the Qin State Head Refiner could achieve.

Thinking about it this way, it wasn't a bad deal to use the brain worm on Feng Yao this time!

To put it simply, given how lifelike Feng Yao is right now, the moment Jiang Shu saw her after consuming the nourishing food, he instinctively breathed on her!

Pei Xia had to explain before he calmed down.

Now that Yuqiong can open it, the food problem is temporarily solved, and with better nutritional supplements, even Feng Yao's health problems have been resolved.

This risky venture in Sishui Town has truly yielded fruitful results.

Pei Xia looked up and saw that the rain had thinned out considerably, the dark clouds were gradually dispersing, and a sliver of light was breaking through.

He looked at Jiang Shu: "Shall we continue on our way?"

Jiang Shu estimated the time and nodded: "Continue eastward. We won't go into the heart of Donghou's territory. Once we reach Jiangcheng Mountain, we'll head north. There might be a market there, where we can rest and resupply."

Pei Xia's eyes lit up slightly: "A market?"

The current environment in Qin Prefecture is so bad that people are starving. You're saying there's still trade in goods? The situation is quite chaotic.

Jiang Shu nodded: "Jiangcheng Mountain is located at the confluence of two rivers. I heard that it was once very prosperous when the old kingdom was still in existence. Although it has declined now, there are still sects that control the waterways, barely supporting a market where cultivators can exchange goods."

Pei Xia thought of Tianbao Mountain, which Jiang Shu had told him about along the way, and couldn't help but ask, "Doesn't Li Xu care?"

"They manage it, and they manage it very strictly. I heard that the current head of Jiangcheng Mountain is a relative of Li Xu, and he is a Vajra Realm cultivator."

With skin of copper and bones of iron, it is indestructible.

Qinzhou head-refining, as an ancient method, only has these four levels. Not to mention martial arts and basic skills, it is one level lower than military strategy and aura observation.

This is also a limitation of the ancient methods, which cannot reach the limits of the Nine Provinces.

Even Pei Xia's Heaven-Supporting Technique is no exception. Even if the Five Virtues and Eight Aspects return to perfection, it cannot support him to contend against the legendary eleventh realm of martial arts.

Thinking of this, Pei Xia couldn't help but look at her arms.

After the great battle of the Liancheng Fire Vein, he no longer sensed the existence of the Water and Fire elements.

It is unclear whether this is due to the restrictions imposed by Qin Prefecture, or because the power infused by the ancestral fire veins and the sea patrol gods has dissipated.
